  Kandi Wieberg, who established numerous records during her four-season playing career at Missouri S&T, has been selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America second team for the recently completed 2008 season.

  Wieberg, a civil engineering major at S&T who was named to the 2007 academic team as well, finished the year with a .320 batting average, 10 home runs and 17 runs batted in from the leadoff spot in the lineup. She also had a .440 on-base percentage and .567 slugging percentage to go along with a team-high 16 stolen bases; her 32 walks set a new S&T single-season record and she is ranked among the national leaders in walks per game.

  She completed her four-year career with the Lady Miners as the holder or co-holder of 13 records at Missouri S&T. She stands atop the all-time lists for doubles with 49, home runs with 34, runs scored with 169 and runs batted in with 105 and her 223 hits are second on the all-time list at S&T.

  Wieberg was an All-America selection on the field as a junior as she was named to both the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and Daktronics All-America squads in a season where she was selected as the "Player of the Year" in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and as the "Student-Athlete of the Year" for softball in the GLVC. She is a two-time selection to the All-GLVC first team and all-region squads at second base.
